This is an error in MS website, but here is the thing. And it works so far.
Sorry that I am on the bus so not sure whether you understand the process. But IT Works!!@
Just gave it a shot as well because why not.
Bought standard edition - Paid using PAYPAL for instant refund
Waited 5 mins
Revisited store, selected Ultimate edition, special discount is now applied - Paid for it
Opened the first Standard Edition order processed email, clicked on View/Manage Order, clicked Cancel. Refund processed
Checked Paypal - Refund complete
Now to see if Microsoft honours it lol
gave it a go. worked fine. paid by CC so everything is all still processing but pre-downloading now.
I guess we wait until launch tomorrow morning to find out?
Great price! But will wait for PC sale.
Microsoft still thinks they are going to purchase Blizzard huh?
if you havent been living under a rock you’d know its been doing well.
Dreamin' mate!
It will come down to the FTC decision in the US. I reckon Microsoft will work around the UK if it just means not giving them access to certain cloud capabilities / changes to gamepass games etc.
If US and EU approve (which EU has) I can't imagine that they'd throw in the towel if it's just the UK.
CN has, much larger market than EU or UK
Legend OP. Ozbargain community drop your GamerTags or Add me : iJustinz
Worked for me also, let's hope they honour it!
My brother said he paid this price for D3 (but my guess that was long after it's release? And was years ago).
Hoping there's no insane sale any time soon 😂
Do you purchase the game through PC or your XBOX app?
PC browser worked.
I'm having so many issues with this. I'm getting :

As per DirtyHen's previous comment, cancel your first order at the link here;
I had the same problem. Purchased it via the Xbox and it worked
this still works!!
Spent an hour on both console and browser but the price is 109.95 for the standard edition, how are you guys getting the $40+
Someone help me please 😀
The steps are in the post, it's pretty straight forward
Buy the standard, wait 5-10 mins. Go back and check ultimate which will now show $44. Buy that then refund the standard. Simples (comparethemeerkat)
Did you read the post? Buy the standard for 109.95. wait a few minutes. Then you can buy the ultimate for 44. Then refund/cancel the standard edition.
pay 109.95 then buy the ultimate version. then get the refund of standard one
You have to pay for the standard edition, i.e. spend $109.95 first.
Then stay on that page for 5 mins, refresh the page, you will be able to see the $44 price of the ultimate edition.
Not when the pricing on the screen reflects what you paid
"Online Content Variable
If you pay for the entire order with your Microsoft account balance, it'll be charged immediately. If you use another way to pay for part or all of your order, you'll be charged up to 10 days before the release date. Get a refund any time before the release date"
Did you even bother going through the check out process?
Curious those that have puchased the $44 upgrade. Does it now give you the option to buy as gift for 44?
Finally. Having an Xbox means something. There are dozens of us!
Why do they call it the Xbox 360?
What's the difference between standard edition and ultimate edition?
The table here should sum it up: https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/diablo-iv
Either way this deal is a no brainer since you're getting the ultimate edition for less than half the price of the standard edition.
Well I just did it and managed to cancel the standard version here's hoping I get to keep the game
Thanks OP, got it done after a few mins. Refund came straight through on PayPal for the Standard Edition. Currently pre-installing on my One X.
Amazing case: we get the game.
Good case: we get a refund and no game.
Worse cast: don't see one.
This is the same price I paid for D3 on PC back in 2012 lol.
They'll just revoke the license, I've done something in the past and they revoked the licence and refunded.
This just worked @ 3AM.
Lets hope we have access @ 9AM lol.
Still working at 5:30am, the only challenge is that it's only allowing downloads of the standard edition. It still shows that I own Ultimate, but I cannot install that tier atm.
If I get standard for $40, that's a sweet deal!
That's how it works. The ultimate edition contains the standard edition.
Same here, I'm downloading the Standard Edition but showing I own Ultimate. Can you access the Ultimate content??
Nah, but I'm more than happy with what I get for $40 haha.
Tried at 5.50am, no longer any offer for $45 upgrade on Xbox, PC or mobile microsoft stores.
Working again. Just bought it for $40.
Not working anymore :(
Working again. Just bought it for $40.
45$ offer doesn't show up anymore
Working again. Just bought it for $40.
Thanks buddy, just tried purchasing the std ed. at 2.30pm on Xbox and been refreshing the page through till 3pm but the ultimate ed. still shows as $154. Did you have to wait long for the upgrade offer to appear? Wondering if I should just cancel the std ed. as it is showing that I own it in my ms account.
Wierdly it happened straight away.
I cancelled my 1st std ordrrz got a refund cause it wasn't working yesterday.
I tired again this morning and it worked.
@ChickenDinner123: Wow! Ok might have to try that. Thanks for sharing. Just checked and the $44 offer still hasn’t appeared. Might have missed the boat.
9am and we find out what the go is
HOLD!
Alrighty Diablo 4 working on both consoles
…. OK on queued for login
Confirm it works
Queued for login
It's live and working!!!
So annoyed. When I did this I originally used the wrong Diablo refund request form. So they've gone into my account and refunded the $44 version :(
F
Same here :(
Currently working to address. First Microsoft support person said do it again and the discount didn't appear (which people in comments here noted). Now talking about it with someone else and they'll escalate, but not holding my breath but irked as I've just repaid more for a lesser product. I know I can't complain as it was just a pricing error but why refund some players and not others? I'm channeling my inner entitled customer.
Update. Tried a few times with Microsoft Support. No dice. They say the team is working on it to change access to players that got the deal but I don't but it. Ultimately I used the wrong form and they picked up on the error. Lucky those that got it though! But just irked that they're letting other purchases slide. Sad.
What do you mean you used the "wrong Diablo refund request form"?
When you check your orders both the Standard and Ultimate editions are together and you just click on the "Cancel" button next to the Standard edition. There's no forms to fill out.
Lmao it worked. I'm in game killing monsters
Thx OP…time to grind
Worked. Make my devil now
xbox stay winning
I’m in que atm worked for me as well
Another reason Xbox is better ay
All worked when I bought/refunded last night, but won't let me download today =(
Tried to push the download from the app on phone. It happened to me yesterday. But managed to download by activated from the app
Update: I was able to push the download via the mobile app. Wouldn't start install from browser or the console itself
Its working!
Also, linked to my battle net account too!
Haha. Now time to kill demons!
It is working!!!@
Thanks for sharing it with us!!@
yep me too. playing now.
Bloody legend. Barbs'ing it up now :D
I purchased normal one paypal and went to ultimate page waited 20 mins and still 154 ?
This particular dealio has ceased to be. Sorry for the fluffy response. OzBargain didn't let me say "Deal expired."
Hi Chilby2k,
Did you end up getting the offer price of 44? Just purchased mine at 2.30pm today and been waiting 30m minutes but the ultimate ed. is still showing at $154.
Wondering if I should just cancel the standard ed.
anyone confirm this is still working?
Working again. Just bought it for $40.
Does not look like it been waiting for 30 mins refreshing ultimate page and check on the xbox still 154 :(
dam that sucks, but still plenty of games in the backlog. ill wait till its cheaper.
I think it is not working anymore. The preorder for Ultimate was done as the game is available now.
Working again. Just bought it for $40.
Now that you've all had a taste of blood, M$ will revoke the license and make you buy buy buy! 😈
TRUE…Diablo is crack cocaine…i cant stop…God Help me.
crap.. missed out by a few hours…
Snooze. You lose.
All working for me - but it feels like none of the pre-purchase/ultimate bonuses are there except the early access. Mounts/wings/pets - nothing there
Yea, when I went to "Manage" game it only listed the standard edition for install, nothing there about ultimate.
if u buy this on xbox… can u then play it on pc? without buying again?
nah. just on the system you bought it for. same as diablo 3
Working, wohoo! I guess it's safe to cancel my standard Amazon preorder? :P
They can take away and refund at any moment.
So only tricky part is losing that better amazon pre-order price. Depends if you are happy to buy another standard edition copy again later if this stops.
I was about to cancel, I think let's wait until the evening, if all good after 6 PM, I think it's good to cancel. Or you could just return the Amazon one within 30 days.
Yeah I guess I'll wait tonight or tomorrow.
Yep, working, sweet!!
Worked for me. Payment method was "Microsoft balance". Refund was immediate on cancellation.
Ultimate edition on console pre-loading.
